An Institutional Review
Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC)
(also known as ethical review board) is a group
that has been formally designated to approve,
monitor, and review biomedical and behavioral
research involving humans with the aim to protect
the rights and welfare of the subjects. In the
United States, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
and Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations have empowered IRBs to
approve, require modifications in (to secure
approval), or disapprove research. An IRB performs
critical oversight functions for research
conducted on human subjects that are scientific, ethical, and
regulatory (definition
